Today I am Listening To...

[rogerzilla]

I watched Weezer's cover of Paranoid Android on YouTube.  I wonder if Weezer do weddings, since they seem to be able to cover anything at all.

Today listened to Genesis Collection Volume 1
This comprises of Trespass and Nursery Cryme.
The advances in sound production techniques are noticeable between the 1970 and 1971 albums.
As always, amazed at the longevity of 1970s vinyl.

The Classic FM annual hall of fame.  Some boring shite, but it's Beethoven's "Emperor" piano concerto now, which is great.

Over the last few days I have been listening to our Dido "No Angel" CD.
Stunning lyrics and a beautiful voice, with enchanting music (imo).

Mr Larrington and other post rock aficionados may like We Lost The Sea 

[Mr Larrington]

Significant improvement when they turned instrumental.  Sadly it took the suicide of vocalist Chris Torpy to get there :'(

[Mr Larrington]

South ~ Tribes Of Neurot.  Running water, sawing wood and the occasional bird call.  For 69 minutes.  So you don’t have to.

Had a bit of spare time today so this morning cued up -

Genesis - Three Sides Live

Camel - Snow Goose

and this afternoon -

Stranglers - No More Heroes

David Bowie - Heroes        (to redress the heroic balance)

Pink Floyd - Meddle

[Pingu]

Tonight we are mostly listening to this: Paranoia and polyrhythms: Talking Heads’ greatest songs – ranked!

[fd3]

Pearl Jam.
They confuse me because they are good and all, but not convinced they needed to make a billionty albums.

[JefO]

Been going through my vinyl records by The Police.

A couple of days ago Zenyatta Mondatta, and today Reggatta De Blanc.

You simply could not release records like that these days, totally Non-PC!

The radio is playing Wham!'s Young Guns Go For It.  The lines fit very neatly into "The Message".  Someone needs to do a mashup.

[Mr Larrington]

Cult Of White Noise's¹ debut album There's A Drone In The House.  Does exactly what it says on the tin.  Will probably not appeal to the forum's dedicated Swifties and may be a bit lightweight for Sunn O))) diehards.

1 - aka one of the Andys out of Psychic Lemon

[Pingu]

Bandcamp has 2 albums by them.

[Mr Larrington]

Could’ve sworn the e-mail said it was the debut.  Will have to check again

(Checks again; downloads 2020s Utopia Deferred.  Ta, M. Pingu )

6music today have been celebrating The Cure's Disintegration by only playing music from 1989, the year it came out. Massive nostalgia-fest for me, one Proustian moment after another...

It's a much better year for music than I remember.

They've played Rebel MC's Street Tuff twice - first Lauren Laverne this morning and Huw Edwards has just played it again. Amazing.

Chariots of Fire - Vangelis
Foot Loose and Fancy Free - Rod Stewart
Legend - Clannad
Eric Clapton - Eric Clapton (Music For the Millions)
Smallcreeps Day - Mike Rutherford

The first four bought today in a charity shop. The Rod Stewart album was a particularly incredible purchase. Complete with the booklet of the album which is in near perfect condition, and the vinyl is excellent. That was £2.
The Clannad album was an extravagance - it cost £5 - but it looks and sounds mint.
Clapton LP has had a colourful life, having been a member of an Essex library! I will be passing this one on.
Smallcreeps Day is a thoroughly excellent album. Not particularly rare, but none of the tracks on it are recognised by Google "Search for a song" (this is a first for me).

Yesterday when fettling, HHGTTG Tertiary Phase.  I have the CDs in the workshop and put them on when I get sick of France Info.  Got a few other things there as well - Gershwin, Copland etc - but HHGTTG gets the most wear.

[Mr Larrington]

Funeral For Justice, the new album by Tuareg guitarist Mdou Moctar.  The lad can play a bit.
